As we near towards August, the festival of Lammas is almost upon us. Lammas celebrates the abundance of the harvest. As our harvest trugs begin to feel heavy and our heads are dizzy with ideas on how to preserve the gluts and glory of summer, it's a wonderful reminder of the resiliency and richness that the natural world has to offer.
